The Castle Runner: A Half-Marathon Adventure Across Europe

Are you ready for a thrilling half-marathon adventure across some of the most vibrant cities in Europe? Look no further than the Castle Runner, a series of five World Athletics IAAF labelled half-marathons that will take you on a journey through Lisbon, Prague, Copenhagen, Cardiff, and Valencia.

The first race of the series takes place in Lisbon on March 12th, where you'll have the chance to run across the iconic Ponte de 25 Abril suspension bridge. This predominantly flat course is perfect for runners of all levels, and with a 3-hour time limit, there's plenty of room to enjoy the stunning scenery and city atmosphere.

But why stop at just one race? The Castle Runner offers a unique opportunity to complete all five half-marathons within a 36-month period and earn yourself a SuperHalf medal. And with entry costs ranging from €50-90 depending on when you sign up, it's an affordable way to explore some of Europe's most exciting cities.

So how do you get involved in the Castle Runner series? It's simple! You can either pay for individual entry to each race or buy a series pass, which currently costs €230 for early bird registration. The pass contains five access codes, allowing you to sign up to each race and enjoy the flexibility of running at your own pace.

One of the most appealing aspects of the Castle Runner is the chance to explore new cities on foot. Whether you're a seasoned marathon runner or just starting out, the half-marathon distance is an achievable goal that doesn't require the same level of training as a full marathon abroad. And with all five races taking place in World Athletics IAAF labelled courses, you can be sure of a professionally managed and well-marked route.

But what makes the Castle Runner truly unique is its SuperHalfs series. By completing all five half-marathons within the 36-month period, you'll earn yourself a prestigious SuperHalf medal. And with Copenhagen, Cardiff, and Valencia having recently played host to the World Half Marathon Championships, you can be sure of an unforgettable experience.
